OMG OMG OMG Les Mis!

I think the film makes the story easier to follow than the stage show.

I am going this afternoon.

Taking someone to see it at the end of the week as a birthday treat - loved the show the film looks wonderful - hankies out and ready. Who's Hugh Jackman ? only a hottie

Oh, I really don't agree about finding the film confusing. On the contrary, it clarified parts of the story that confused me after seeing the show.

Hugh Jackman

will look forward to seeing that!

I saw the show years ago but did find it little confusing the music was amazing though.

Phew marelli - thought I might have to see it 2x and have no lunch although it would be good to devote 2 afternoons to HJ !

I fail to see the attraction of Hugh Jackman

harrigran you cannot be serious!! HJ is gorgeous.

All the more for us Harri

Went to see Les Mis on Friday and I can confirm it is better that the stage show. It is deeply moving , far more so than the stage show ( seen 4 times ) because the acting is so close up . there are a couple of extra scens in the film that help with the understanding of the story . when you go take plenty of tissues

Ohhhhhh I have seen it.......... did not really fancy it as I dont really do films and the cinema but OMG OMG OMG as nanapug said it was amazing!!!!!

I went as DH wanted to see it and he did not enjoy it at all but I was glued, and could not see when I came out with crying so much, I have not seen the stage show but the story was very clear to me, I loved it I would recommend you go and see it.

Oh glass I can't wait to see it but will probably be out on DVD by the time this damned cough goes !

Its still buzzing around in my head this morning, brilliant.

Wonderful film. Have seen stage production and film compliments it beautifully.

We saw it last night, it was wonderful a great big blockbuster of an emotional roller coaster, we were both in tears at the end. Having seen The Impossible on Friday I am now in the mood for something uplifting!

A-MAY-ZZING ! The whole cinema didn't move a muscle and in the words of a small grandson - awesome and epic.

Hankies to the fore!

My DH said it's the first film he's been to see where the audience applauded at the end. We'd gone as a family group from g'parents to g'children aged 8 and 13 and everyone was totally captured by it. DH and I have seen it 3 times as a stage production and both mediums are brilliant in their different ways. I was surprised at how good the singing was in the film. Seeing the actors in closeup on film really added to the overall atmosphere of it.
I can't see how anyone could fail to be captivated. Try and see it on the big screen, I can't see it being quite as effective on television.

oh do hope we can go see on Sunday OH HAS got free cinema tickets that will soon be out of date.

not chance go tom on Orange Wed as carpet coming!!

sounds like we in for a treat!

I'm going tomorrow (Orange wed), just hope we can get in as the cinema is quite small!

I absolutely loved it, just as much as the stage show. It did make the story clearer to me. I love live theatre but couldn't fault this film at all.

I'm going tonight! Hope we get in, because it's at the wee local cinema. Going early to queue!

What is it with the voices of people who play these roles in musicals? There is a ferocity and vigour that you don't find elsewhere. I have to say that I find it very unattractive in general – I have not seen Les Mis on stage or on film. I have a vague feeling that the novel was part of my French A level but whether it was the whole thing or just a bit with Cosette and Marius, I cannot remember. I hated it.

It was wonderful! Very moving and although I've seen the stage production, albeit 20 odd years ago, this made the story much clearer.

Saw it this afternoon (Orange bog- off tickets!) LOVED it, so did the rest of the audience, some of whom rather tentatively applauded. All we needed after that was to sing God Save the Queen
